Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
Well, I guess they don't want me lurking anymore. Good bye, Reddit. We had some good times.
(For context, I cannot scroll more than 3 posts before Reddit asks me to install the app and there isn't a way to clear that screen.)
What are all the pictures and what do they have to do with reddit?
This is great news! I appreciate how Reddit is taking the initiative to spread awareness of the Fediverse. Bravo to them!
Yeah, I had thought most people here recognized that the end was 3 years ago, if not longer, but I'm happy they're at least being forced to commit now. You don't need the endless stream of slop that is Reddit. Spend 30 minutes going through the last 6 hours of Lemmy posts, then go do something else instead.
Long, long time Reddit user. Want to ditch because of this bs. But I’m very, very new to lemmy. Just downloaded Voyager and subscribed to all things immediately available. but don’t really know what to do next. How do I add more content?excited but nervous because I don’t understand how it all works.
Browse All. I never did this on Reddit but it’s the only thing I do here.
I used Reddit for over a decade and quit cold turkey when the API got removed. Nothing has given me the same feeling since, but frankly Reddit hasn’t either for maybe half of those years.
The site grew up alongside me and was an important thing for me to learn about tons and tons and tons of new things.
Lemmy has less content, and that’s okay. Open Lemmy, run out of content, like just finish for the day and then get up and do something else. We have about 75 years of functional brains give or take, your life won’t be meaningfully enriched by throwing an extra two hours a day into a link aggregator.
Welcome to the community community. Nothing will be the same as early Reddit and especially not Reddit, so don’t chase that high. You’ll be fine
How to browse all on Lemmy?
What I’ve found is with Lemmy there just isn’t enough community content to browse based on subscriptions like I did on Reddit.
I browse All or Local and block(or ignore) communities that don’t interest me.
I like to browse All to find all the random communities around here. I don't know Voyager specifically, but you can usually just go to a community page and click submit. There's one that posts new (and I think) trending communities - I'll come back with an edit
Yeah I used to actively avoid /r/all on reddit but on Lemmy I pretty much never leave it because even though there's endless content here, its not nearly to the scale of reddit. But I like it and have been here exclusively for three years now :)
Just know if you post to a new and even empty outside of you community here you are likely to get comments still, reddit your posts get lost in to the void
Just keep subscribing to things :)
We have this guide for how to do that more easily:

I remember signing up for Reddit in my middle school library, way back when we were all still shitting on digg. It's wild to have seen it fall so far.
Start posting content to /c's you're interested in.
It's also worth signing up to a few other instances and looking around as you're going to be exposed to communities that you'd otherwise miss what with the various federation between platforms and whatnot. Piefed is a good one as it autosubscribes you to a fuck ton of /c's right off the bat.
That's why I'm here.
If you must use Reddit, download RedReader.
Was at my dad's house while he was working from home and saw he used reddit for a coding question. It's just really fucked that they're cutting so many people off from that kind of knowledge, and a lot of them (account-less casual browsers) won't understand any of the ~~drama~~ politics of why reddit is doing this.
I guess I'll tell him about redlib though.
Also, a lot of normie browsers might decide to use LLMs to get their questions if they piece together that a huge part of LLM training material is just reddit posts.
Not worth it on the phone, especially as fucking spez is forcing people to use the app and lock them into that walled garden.
Have nkt tried it but would ublock -> block Javascript work?
https://old.reddit.com/ still seems to be working (for now)…
Unfortunately I need to sign-in to use old reddit now. Haven't made a reddit account yet and it looks like I'm giving up lurking and checking random reddit links from a web search over starting now.
Huh - I’d heard that was coming but checked it before commenting. I was able to browse it logged out. Must be only partially rolled out.
Best to use it with Firefox, along with RES and uBlock Origin.
Yep. No idea why anyone would want to advertise with a company that hides their ads behind a paywall either
It goes away for me if I open it in a private tab in Mobile FF. I have no idea why.
New cookies, probably.
Redlib
Use ublock origin lighting bolt maybe? Block that cell? Hasn't happened to me yet.
Sites are getting better at frustrating users who remove elements from pages, so I expect that Reddit would have implemented the latest tech.
But perhaps more importantly, this is about mobile, not desktop, so there's no uBO anyway.
Firefox mobile has unlock origin.
Didn't block this, and yeah the elements needed to block this behavior is tricky. Because if it's not just a full screen modal it's actually disabling your scrolling and taps
Welp. I've altered my comment to reflect my mistake.
